Monday muddlings

 

I pinched this from facebook. It made me giggle and we need more of that in the face of the sadness in the world.

I saw the woman at the job provider. I was meant to see someone else (I have lost count of the number of people I have seen there over the past couple of years - the turnover is amazing) but she agreed to keep me under her as she knows what her notes mean. I no longer have to apply for jobs. I no longer have to see her; I will get messages reminding me of a meeting but she will mark me off, until, hopefully in the not too distant future, I disappear from their system.

Himself made a comment about how much money we are spending. I reminded him that he is always going to Bunnings and made a mental note to stop spending at the yarn store. I could probably never buy a skein of yarn again and still have plenty to leave in my will. I did go and buy the extra skein I needed to finish the weaving. And I did consider the next weaving project using some pretties they had there. Maybe I should sell some of my yarn. It would be a bit like selling your children but I guess some of the cheaper yarn could be considered less worthy of my love. Who am I kidding?

Himself is at the doctor as I write. Repeat scripts and a referral to the cardiologist for his annual review which is overdue because, you know, covid. 

His hearing is getting worse and while he acknowledges it he won't do anything about it. Like wear his hearing aids. Which he got in 2020 and has barely worn. If he goes to another company he will have to buy new ones and if he goes back to Costco he will have to buy another membership to see their audiologist. We went there in the first place because the daughter of a friend worked there but she has moved on to greener pastures. The set up is great and the hearing aids are top quality (fave sis in law used to be an audiologist and she knows these things). I think I need to wait until he feels that his quality of life is being affected - which it is but he hasn't admitted it yet.

Last night's dinner was delicious and I can't get over how good all the home grown veges tasted. Even the spuds. I will definitely grow them again but I need to find a better container.

I have booked a motel in Yass for the trip up and the Mermaid and I will stay in Bateman's Bay, Merimbula and Lakes' Entrance on the way back. Only a few hours drive between each place. The big challenge will be whether I am brave enough to tackle Sydney traffic to collect her from her mum's place on the northern beaches. Sydney drivers are maniacs and their roads are crazy. Their public transport is brilliant, though, I will give them that.

Right, off to look at accommodation for the trip home. They are all lovely beachside places and the schools have gone back so we should have a great time.
